HISTORY

The Dalmatian Gang, four spotted crooks with a flair for flashy crimes, slipped through the shadows of Washington, D.C., ready to make off with a fortune in gems from Crown Jewelers! But before they could bag their loot, old-school justice crashed the party. Cat·Man and Kitten struck like lightning, fists flying, wisecracks cracking, and glass shattering with every SMACK, THWACK, and CRASH! Even with smoke bombs and dirty tricks, the Dalmatians couldn’t escape the dynamic duo. One by one, they hit the floor, defeated and dazed. When the smoke cleared, police cuffs were clicking, and the only thing they stole was a lesson in pain. They may be spotted, but this gang never sees justice coming!

POWERS & ABILITIES

The Dalmatian Gang isn’t super-powered, but they’re no pushovers! This colorful quartet relies on strength, teamwork, and a knack for trouble:
Dominic “Domino” Velluto – The Boss (Leader): Domino has an extraordinary gift for logistics, timing, and psychological warfare.
Bruno “Blotch” Kowalski—The Muscle: Blotch was part of a failed Eastern European super-soldier program. He has augmented musculature and bone density.
Tanya Griggs – Trixie: She can detect surveillance like a sixth sense.
Rico Maroni – Checkers: Specializing in leight of hand crimes, that would impress even seasoned thieves.
Perdo Valez – Spot: He moves through cityscapes like a shadow, using parkour, wire lines, and grapnels with precision.

WEAPONS & PARAPHERNALIA

The Dalmatian Gang may look like a pack of novelty crooks, but they’re armed with a wild array of gimmicks and gadgets that make them more dangerous than they seem. The quartet favors style with a bite, just like their namesake.
Dominic “Domino” Velluto – The Boss: Wields a steel crowbar and wears a custom smoke-belt that releases thick clouds of fog for dramatic escapes.
Bruno “Blotch” Kowalski – The Muscle: Packs a pair of oversized brass knuckles and sometimes a length of steel chain. His sheer strength and thuggish approach make him the muscle of the team.
Tanya Griggs – Trixie: Favors a pair of spring-loaded batons, compact but powerful. Her suit is lightweight and flexible, allowing her to move acrobatically in combat.
Rico Maroni – Checkers: Uses spring-loaded gadgets, smoke, and pepper pellets to confound opponents.
Perdo Valez – Spot: Quick and sneaky, he uses marble-sized smoke pellets, pocket slingshots, and a collection of glass-cutter rings to slip in and out of trouble fast.
